According to Bogart (1991) and Perez-De-Albeniz & Holmes (2000) the different techniques of meditation can be classified according to their focus. That is, whether they focus on the field or background perception and experience, also called mindfulness, or whether they focus on a preselected specific object, also called "'concentrative' meditation." There are also techniques that shift between the field and the object. Categorizing the varieties of meditation is difficult. One common way is according to religion or lineage. Of cou ...

Sankhya - the path of knowledge involving an analysis of spirit and matter. This philosophy is atheistic in nature. It was propagated by the sage Kapila, who is different from the avatara of the Lord known as Kapila, the son of Kardama and Devahuti. The sage Kapila, who was born in the dynasty of Agni, is referred to in the Mahabharata (Vana-parva 221.21): kapilam paramarsin ca yam prahur yataya sada agni sa kapilo nama sankhya-yoga pravartaka - "That person whom the renunciates proclaim as the founder of the sankhya-yoga system is the great sage Kapila who appeared in the dynasty of Agni.”

From a Hindu perspective, Sanatana Dharma is composed of eternal principles and had no beginning and will have no end. There are two contemporary streams of thought regardings its origins: Current archeaological and literary evidence suggests that Hinduism was formed somewhere between 1500-1300 BCE. These dates are when the Rig Veda is believed to have begun to be written down, though it is accepted that there was a long oral tradition of the Vedas before that. Astronomical evidence gives an earlier date of a ...

After his chief disciple Paramahansa Yogananda came to America in 1920 and founded Self-Realization Fellowship to teach his guru's meditation technique Kriya Yoga, Sri Yukteswar's teachings on the yuga cycle, presented in his 1894 book The Holy Science, also became more widely known.

Happiness - Biological basis. While a person's overall happiness is not objectively measurable this does not mean it does not have a real physiological component. The neurotransmitter dopamine, perhaps especially in the mesolimbic pathway projecting from the midbrain to structures such as the nucleus accumbens, is involved in desire and seems often related to pleasure. Pleasure can be induced artificially with drugs, perhaps most directly with opiates such as morphine, with activity on mu-opioid receptors or invo ...
